TODAY IN HISTORY
274: A temple to Sol Invictus ("the Unconquerable Sun") is first dedicated in Rome by Emperor Aurelian, on the day just past the Winter Solstice, when the noonday sun is first observed to begin its return north, toward Europe. The date of the celebration is later hijacked by Christians for "Christmas."
